POLL: Curb Teachers' Seniority Rights?

Massachusetts' biggest teachers union and a group pushing to change teacher evaluations have come to an agreement and are now trying to get lawmakers to adopt a compromise bill, according to The Boston Globe.

The compromise is that the bill "creates a data reporting system to ensure accountability in the new evaluation system," according to the report, so teachers wouldn't necessarily be promoted for their seniority. But the group backed down on the parts that would "reduce collective bargaining rights, weaken due process rights for teachers with professional teacher status and curtail rights for part-time teachers."
